Acer debut 'new console'

Gameplayer attended the launch of Acer's brave shot at becoming a major gaming force.

"It's hard not to be in awe of the Predator. The chassis is just awesome and it has a host of funky little additions, from blue LED lights all over the front to robot claw driven optical disc drives and a Dark Helmet style front face mask. Inside it is amazingly void of cabling too, neat and tidy as it drives the best in PC performance towards your games."

But who the hell can afford one of those. It's Aussie dollars, but still...

JsonHenry6479d ago

Not too bad. But it would cost about half of that to just build it yourself.

Pr3-M3d_G4M3R6479d ago

IF its as reliable as my crappy laptop then nooooooooo way. Acer sucks pure and simple. If you want something good go for a company who has been making systems for years

SpecialSauce6478d ago (Edited 6478d ago )

more consoles means more exclusives spread out. meaning one game console just might not do it in the future.

thank god it's just a computer.

PiTCHBLaCK6478d ago

There is nothing wrong with Acer, Good Quality company, I have
one of there 22 Inch LCD Monitors, 1 1/2 years of constant
use(PC is always being used and is always left on)with not
even a slight flicker, no issues what so ever.

If Acer made a game Console, I'd do research to see how
good it is, after that I'd buy it.

Acer will win the console war. Acer has the best set of AAA exclusive games combined with top of its class hardware, and innovative motion sensing capabilities.

WTF? Its a PC, that's it, a high spec PC.

EDIT: LOL $4000-$8000, yeah its a PC.

Guwapo776479d ago

Lovely $8000 PC with last gen video cards. I wouldn't expect anything less from Acer. Great job guys!

Pr3-M3d_G4M3R6479d ago

So I guess whoever buys this can enjoy PC games along with the other 5 PC gamers worldwide. 0 f0rg1v3 m3 PC g4m3r5 45 1t w45 4 j0k3 7o7

TheIneffableBob6479d ago

This will sell terribly.
People don't buy super high-end PCs anymore.

Building your own computer is getting more and more popular due to the extreme cost savings. I configured a PC last week for $600 that could play just about any game--except Crysis, of course--on max settings. I was surprised myself.

PiTCHBLaCK6478d ago (Edited 6478d ago )

I already have plans to buy a $10,000 Computer, though
It wont be Acers predator, It'll most likely be a HP Blackbird.

Those are australian dollars. And yeah it's basically a PC specifically built for gaming that's all.

LeBart6479d ago

Anybody who spends that much money for a PC is stupid.

FantasyStar6479d ago

word, I can build a gaming capable PC for $3000 less than their asking price.

Pr3-M3d_G4M3R6479d ago

Yeah you can build one but it wouldnt be an "ACER" ouuuuuuu ahhhh haha

PiTCHBLaCK6478d ago

I'm buying a expensive PC, $10,000, This does not make
one stupid, If you have the money but not the time, then
go on and spend the money.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio18d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing18d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9218d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit18d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing18d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9218d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
